social occasions from the Cliffs to Bren-
toms Point.
The friends of fnancier's wife No.
now saw that mistake had been made
and then they upllfted their voices il
unison, sounding the cry abroad thai
financier's wife No. 1 never, oh! never
did she write that note to the news
paper. Some one else did the fell deed
it was not fair-lady No. l. Oh no.
The friends of fnancier's wife No.
took the matter up and averred that the
letter was written by lady No. THAT il
was printed Just as it was written.
Then an investigation was undertaken.
The newspaper people were inter
viewed, and an effort was mace to get
the copy" sent down by the fnancier s
wife No. 1. 1t had been thrown in the
waste paper bin and had been removed.
Then another plan was adopted.
The attache of the newspaper who
handled the letter from finan cier's wife
No. went over it carefully before it was
put in type. The chirography was of a
character that was easily remembered.
When gentleman called on him with
something like dozen notes, penned by
as many different ladies, the signatures
and all distinguishing marks being
carefully concealed, the newspaper man
at once put his finger on one of the
twelve notes. and said:
| That is the same handwriting as in
| the letter that was printed"
The person who submitted the bundle
of different notes for the purpose of
making test exclaimed:
Il thought So"
And then he put the package of notes
in his pocket and departed.
1t does not appear that financier's
wife No. has ever personally denied
that she wrote the note to the news
papers. But her friends have made up
for any silence that may have been dis
played on the part of the principal in
the social comedy.
THE GAYEsT WEEK OF THE SEASON.
AS was predicted in the Herald of Sun
day last, the present week has been the
gayest of the season. The reception OF
Mrs. Haywood Cutting was an elaborate
affair. Costly were the decorations. fine
was the feed and bi@qrre and costly were
some of the costumes displayed by the
ladies. Mr.. T. H. Howard and Miss
Cutting led the german. The Town
and Country Club met at "FinistePre,
Mrs. Gardiner Brewers cottage, We'd
nesday afternoon and the mystery re-
garding the New England Vagabond,"
of whom Colonel Thomas Wentworth
Higginson read, was solved by the fur
ther announcement that he lived in the
LAST century. Alarge and distinguished
company were present.
The Vanderbilt musicale, which is
said to have cost Cornelius Vanderbilt
over $4,000, on Wednesday evening,
has been described in the Herald. The
lavish expenditure of money was in the
line of good taste, and no one could well
criticise the details arranged to amuse
and instruct the guests of the evening |
The tennis tournament attracted a
large number of votaries of the racquet |
and white ball, and it would have been
larger had not Jupiter Pluvlus over
turned his water jars the first three days
OF the week. 1t was pretty picture
that was presented on the grounds of
the Casino during the struggle between
Beekman and Slocum. Not exactly
Watteau, for the nymphs were not at
red as shepherdesses, and the Cory
ions were arrayed in prosaic pot hats, |
coats and trousers, but there was deal |
of piCtureSqueness in the scene on and |
ab )ut the courts.
All the pretty women worth noticing |
were on deck and appeared to good ad |
vantage. Some were absorbed in the |
games, and were always ready to pound |
their little gloyed hands in recognition |
of the good play of the contestants. The |
new professional beauty, Miss Eleanor |
WinsloW, was on the grounds. and dur
ing most OF her stay she was in the COM
pany of the established professional |
beauty, Miss Adele Grant. The two
served as capital foils for one another.
Miss WinsloW is tall, blonde, well |
formed, her rather large face, with it's
clear blue eyes full OF animation, a sort
of 81 am doing all l can to please you"
expression. She wore a steel pOplin
gown, rather plainly made, with a para
sol to match, and a black straw turban
with black satin ribbon trimming. The
length of the fair Miss WInsIow's pedal
coverings, which were of patent leather,
indicates, so little bird whispers, that
their number is five. The foot is slim
and well shaped, and is not large for d
woman of her size.
MISS GRANTS COSTUME
Miss Grants raiment was more Ella
oorate. A white wooIlen gown, with
sprays of flowers and leaves OF the two
colors of green and brick
Gu, was uIdWH CIOS6 W Tue waist IN
'front.' by a long sash of brick red. A
white sailor hat, with a band OF baby
blue ribbon, sat squarely on the coal
black locks which cover the damsel's
head. Miss Grants eyes are dark and
1er lips red as cherries. She is not so
animated as Miss Winslow. She an
pears content to rest on her already won
aurels, to hold herself in reserve as it
were.
The two charmers kept together, and
they also took good care to keep by
themselves out of the crowd While the
greater proportion of the women
clustered around the courts occupied by
The players, the young ladies were gen
orally surrounded by a group of men
Ind the green turf carpet of the lawn.
A woman wise in the WAYS of society :
whispered: There is a good knowledge $
If contrast displayed by our friends 5
;ver there. What better setting off do
hey need than to keep well out of the s
;rowd, with the bright green of the grass
or a pedestal and the shrubbery in the
ear for a frame?'
Among the pretty women present
we're Miss Wilson, a sister of Mrs. Og-
len GOelet of New York. Misc Sp,i,b |
